This course is designed for the advanced level dancer and will continue to develop technique in ballet, modern, jazz, contemporary, and cultural dance. Choreography, improvisation, and the art of performing will be explored individually and in small groups. Emphasis is placed on the dance performances and advanced level skill proficiency is expected. A hallmark of this class is to develop an individual artistic voice. Additional units include group and individual dance for musical theater, dance improvisation, writing a dance critique, dance history, advanced functional anatomy and nutrition and multimedia dance forms. Students will begin to explore leadership development, careers in dance and the performing arts.
